Plot: Inspired by the real-life story of Prince Naseem “Naz” Hamed, a British-Yemeni boxer, and his journey from humble beginnings to becoming a world champion and his training under Brendan Ingle who played a crucial role in his success.
This film was Really Good.
Pros: I like the autography and how the film looks. Naseem & Brendan’s relationship were the highlight of the film for me. This one worked to many that didn’t know story first hand. Plenty of boxing action action were really fast-paced choregraph. I like the boxing owner & I gotten emotional by the end when Naseem & Brendan embraced each other.
Cons: At times it trying too hard to copy Rocky. The commentary did feel too scripted. Some dialogue choices that I didn’t understand & I didn’t gift enough to care about Naseem home life.
